A browser, anti virus, torrent client, media player, etc.. you can find a lot of useful stuff at portableapps website.

>>46737338
I google'd that and it's the same functionality that's default in Fedora Linux. Hard to imagine an OS without it.

Everything else is delegated to dev boards or the Linux distro that's my primary OS. It's weird to boot into Windows since it happens so rarely. Like finding old unlabeled CDs behind furniture and checking their contents.

This is an essential for me now. OS X has done this as long as i remember (scrolling is sent to the window/control under the cursor, not the active window), but windows doesnt. WizMouse fixes this.

>just as botnet
Open source, and not owned by an ad company. If it's a botnet, it's nowhere near as powerful as Google.

>look, winRAR is for rars. 7-ZIP obviously cant open rars
Yes it can.

It comes with those codecs in the first place.

README for the VLC media player
===============================

VLC is a popular libre and open source media player and multimedia engine,
used by a large number of individuals, professionals, companies and
institutions. Using open source technologies and libraries, VLC has been
ported to most computing platforms, including GNU/Linux, Windows, Mac OS X,
BSD, iOS and Android.
VLC can play most multimedia files, discs, streams, allows playback from
devices, and is able to convert to or stream in various formats.
The VideoLAN project was started at the university École Centrale Paris who
relicensed VLC under the GPLv2 license in February 2001. Since then, VLC has
been downloaded close to one billion times.
